DR.. Greene-I was induced to use your Nervura
Nerve Tonic from hearing many OF my patients

mended patent medicine. This remedy, hOwev-

a physicians prescription; and after a fair ana

The Marquis Cantino recently fell in
love with a young English millionaire,
Miss Ada Rutland, and arrangements
were made for the marriage of the pair.
The day came, the guests were all gath

once the bride appeared. A thrill Of
excitement, mingled with admiration,

dress worn by the lady was seen to be
decorated by garlands Of white doves too
numerous to bs counted. The face Of
the marquis darkened as he asked:
"Where did you get thesew ''Oh," was
the quick response, hit upon this

A W0man-hater

There is q man in business on West
Madison street who has not spoken to
one Of the fair sex for over two years.
He rooms at q hotel on the European
plan, eats at q restaurant where there are
male walters only, and "Heathen
Ohinee" does his washing. He keeps q
cigar store, and therefore never has any
lady customers. The reason of his
singular conduct is, it is said, that he was
heartleasly Tilted and then made solemn
VOW that he would never speak to one of
the female sex, old or young, as long
as he lived; and up to this date he has
religiously kept his foolish VOW. He is a
fne-looking man, in the prime oflife. The
other day while I was walking with him,
q very pretty young lady, seeing no 9TH

self and my nominees made me Of no 40

deer knows every time IL the man he
sees has q gun In his hand or not.
When deer is suddenly startled, either
by scent or noise, he does not immedi-
ately run straight away, but after few
jumps stops to see what the danger is.
One snowy and windy day last fall,
leaving the boys in camp taking solid
comfort before the fire, I started cut for
still hunt. Tracks were plenty, but q
good deal of snow having fallen through
the morning it was hard to determine
what was fresh and what old. finally
selected one that looked like bucks
track, evidently made late the night be-
fore, and set out cautiously to follow it.
The snow storm was favorable to still
hunting. There was great deal Of old
down timber, in a heavy forest Of hem
lock, line and hardwood trees, and
thick underbrush. Steadily I followed
the track-winding in and out and
around about, as the deer took his course
while seeking in the night, over old logs,
through thickets and into birch tops
the buds of which they ike-for half an
hour, when, 10! on little knoll under
the thick protecting branches Of an over
hanging spruce 1 came upon the fresh
bed out Of which the deer had just
sprung.
The wind was blowing wrong, and I
was quickly satisfied his alarm was
caused by seeming rather than seeing
me. Continuing on this trail about
twenty rods with redoubled caution I
soon came to where he had stopped run
ming and dropped into an easy walk,
and finally pulled up to find out what
was the matter. Then the long, run
ming jumps appeared on the snow, he
having winded me again. His course
was south. To the right the ground
gradually sloped up higher and was
more open. The air was full of flying
snow. After starting the deer the Sec
ond time, I felt pretty sure he would
circle round onto this ridge and stop to
take peep down the back track; so
moving along to the south I kept sharp
eye to the right. My expectation was
fulfilled. Ali at once I saw q motion
among the trees, and stopped. Peering
intently through an opening in the trees
my heart gave bound as 1 oeived
about fifteen rods of the deer standing
perfectly etill, looking for me- don't
think he saw me-from behind q large
pine stub. Nothing was visible of his
body except the head and neck. I took
steady aim at the thickest part of the
neck, and when the Winchester cracked
I had the satisfaction Of seeing the deer
tumble into the snow. On going up I
found it was large fat buck, and that
his neck had been broken by the bullet.
An examination of the track showed that
he had made detour of forty rods to
come around again in his back track, and
see what was disturbing his day dreams
in such stormy weather.

Here is an episode in the career of the
Rev. M. Chasuble, ali Episcopal clergy
man who for some time presided over the
religious services in one of the suburban
towns. Chasuble was q good deal of q
gourmet as we'll as faithful pastor.
One day he happened in at parishion-
er's house about dinner time and weakly
accepted an invitation to dinner. He
found the table decorated with sporadic
dish here and there, with nothing that
promised the smallest satisfaction for
either the appetite or the palete.

dangerous Lords.

New York World.
'The house of lords" said Mr.
Justin Mccarthy, represents nothing
but the opinions of the peers who are as
sembled there. It represents no party,
and man becomes q member OF the
house of lords, simply because his father
was one before him. The house of lords
has the right to make laws and the right
to interfere with the making of laws, and
it has the constitutional right to veto
every act Of Legislation passed by the
house of commons. The house of COM
mons is not at present representative
body, but if it is possible to have q
representative body at all at the present,
the house of commons deserves that
name. There are improvements to be
made as regards tn voting power Of
the people of England, but the house
of commons at present represents that
people.
"You will ask, with the power of the
house Of lords, how can q civilized coun-
try get on at allP I can explain. You
all remember how DR.. Primrose In "The
Vicar Of Wakefield used to give his
children gold piece on condition that
they never spend nor change the money!
We give the house of lords their tremend-
GUS power on exactly the same condi-
ton. They have the right to veto every
measure passed by the house Of COM
mons on condition that they do not at
tempt the sbsurdity Of trying to exer-
else that right, and they have seldom
tried it Of recent years. The last occs-
sion was twenty years ago, and I do
not suppose it is likely in our day they
would do anything Of the kind again.
A man is looked upon as lost in political
life when q stroke of luck places him In
the languor of the house Of lords.
81 often wondered how man lie the
marquis OF Salisbury feels in the house
Of lords. I wonder Low often he must
look back upon the days when he was
Lord Robert Cecil. There are no grand
orators in the house Of lords, except they
be the bishops Of the Episcopal church,
and they look like q body Of strong.
minded women who had found their way
INTO the wrong place. In the houee Of
commons measure may be vetoed BY
majority Of votes"

81 met our old chaplain yesterday"
said an an ex-soldier, land was shocked
to see how the sturdy old fellow had
failed within ten years. All the boys
will remember him as one of the most
sympathetic and considerate men in the
service, as man whose wholesome face
and kindly eyes and rugged form spoke
always of good health and mental Q Iuili-
brium. He was an old man when he
came to the regiment, but he was the
very personifcation of good health and
manly strength, and he stood exposure
better than most Of the younger men.
"He had been trained IN the school of
the frontier. He was in the habit of
making himself at home under all sorts
of circumstances and of accepting unto
ward incident in the best possible spirit.
His nerves were under almost perfect
CONTROL and be went into battle like q
trained Indian fighter. In our first en-
gagement he came to us in the woods
and spoke encouragingly but very
quietly to the r4en wsiting nervously
for the atta,k. When the first man fell
he assured himself that he was beyond
mortal help, and without remark took
the dead mans gun and used it skillfully
for the remainder Of the fight. He came
out of that skirmish with three bullet
holes through his old stovepipe hat, and
when the men were again in camp they
put that old hat on pole and marched
about the camp cheering.
ut was the habit of the old fellow,
when he made his regular rounds dis
tributing letters or paying what he called
pastoral calls, to be little slow in OPEN
ing the flap of the tent. He did not par
ticular object to friendly game Of cards,
but he did not Like to see the men play.
While he knew that he could not stop
the games, he felt that he could exercise
q wholesome restraint upon the men
who passed their time and killed the
blues in this way. He never saw the
men OF our company playing cards, be-
cause when the boys heard bis voice in
company quarters the cards were shuf1ed
out Of sight and the old gentleman was
welcomed with pleaure and Difference.
He was great favorite even among the
Roman Catholics in the regiment, and to
see him broken down now makes me
feel like crying"

water in bottle, corking it very tightly
think that you would not observe mucl
change, though it should stand for weeks
But, when open, particularly in any sucl
place as a s'back-shed," where there il
a great deal of impurity in the air, pro.
badly, this is absorbed by the water, a
one of the important means Of purifying
the air, which is constantly being made
impure by the breathing of all living
creatures, by the decay Of animal and
vegetable matters, by fermentation, com
bustion, etc. Indeed, aside from active
forces in nature, the appropriation OF
foul gases by the vegetable world, by
the light of the sun, the ABSORPTION by
the vast bodies of water on the face OF the
earth, ETC., it would not be possible for
human beings to live hut short time, as
the accumulated poisons would soon prove
our destruction. This may be one of
the most prominent reasons why so large
part of the surface of the earth is cover
ed with water. Again, we see the good
ness and wisdom of the Creator in the
changes which are ever occurring in the
waters, the flowing of streams, the flowing
in and out of lakes, moving these
accumulations where they may be ap-
propriated by the soil, re- appearing as
the fruits Of the earth. As such impuri-
ties flow along in small and large streams,
the banks are constantly appropriating a
part, growth and decay constantly follow
ing each other in regular order. A part
reaches the vast ocean, which, we might
suppose, would eventually become too
filthy to sustain the lives of the ''fish of
sea, and whatsoever passeth through the
paths of the sea-"
There are various ways in which this
is disposed of, as the shores would not
be able to use but a very small part of
such vast accumulation. The great
tidal waves and others ars almo Constant

deposits of the bottom, to be devoured
by innumerable creatures made for this
purpose, as we may conclude. All along
the shores, in the shoaler waters, are q

The larger being those like the oysters,

their duty to destroy such, that higher

air purifiers, the deetroyers of filth, doing
heir work very faithfully. The same
may be said of millions on millions of

Vssssible place himself where the game
is likely to pass on one of these run
ways. Lutte and Ed, following the dog
closely, kept along the edge of the
swamp, expecting him to start the deer
soaose by, wkle I took to the ridges half
"a mile back.
Soon heard the dog begin to bay

that he had jumped deer-and shortly
after heard three shots from the boys in
rapid succession. The dog went quickly

running at great rate. moved along
on the ridge in northeasterly direc-

swamp and listening for the dog. In
the course Of half an hour Custer came
into hearing again. At first heard him
very family in the distance, but coming
down rapidly from the north. It was
readily apparent that the deer would
cross the ridge still to the eastward of
me, and Iran forward as swiftly as pos
sible over old logs and through hemlock
and spruce underbrush to q more eligi-
BILE position. But in spite of all the dog
ran past, ahead OF me about eighty rods
and Of course out Of sight in these dense
evergreen woods. Presently the dog
ceased baying. Moving on I soon struck
the track and confirmed my suspicion
fthat Custer had given up and returned
RIO the boys. An examination OF the deer
